Interesting song, with Grant in the chorus. Anyone else listened yet?

The Courier - Mail ; Brisbane, Qld. [Brisbane, Qld]20 Oct 2020

AS THE frontman of george and with his mother and sister both acclaimed singers, Tyrone Noonan is Queensland music ­royalty. But it’s another local luminary he’ll be paying tribute to at tonight’s National Live Music Awards in a live stream from The Triffid in Brisbane.

Noonan (pictured) will showcase his latest single Snow White, featuring the last vocal recording of Go-­Betweens legend Grant McLennan, who died of a heart attack in 2006, aged 48.

“It’s something I sat on for years; just couldn’t really deal with it – it was a bit too sad and haunting,” Noonan says.

“It felt almost like aurally opening up a coffin. “The vocals that I got from him were literally recorded a few weeks before he passed.”

I’ve heard it, Austin. I didn’t think too much of it on first listen, but I’ll give it another go. I came across it by chance on Amazon Music.

I've changed my mind and bought the track. A mere $1 from Bandcamp. And that's $1 Australian, so a pittance in US dollars and UK pounds. https://tyronenoonan.bandcamp.com/track/ snow-white
